Fanshawe College St. Thomas - Elgin announces a new bursary

Fanshawe St Thomas-Elgin has just announced their new Bridges Bursary, which can be used by people who have received support through EO-funded programs including Academic Upgrading, Bridges Out of Poverty and/or Circles, and Employment Services. This bursary is intended for people accessing post-secondary or continuing education certificate programs at Fanshawe College, ideally at the St Thomas-Elgin campus, and is a great way to help offset the cost of OSAP loans. We encourage you to contact Kara Thibeault at 519-633-2030 ext. 223 or via email at kthibeault@fanshawec.ca to see if you (or your clients) qualify!

Skills for Success: Writing

By Summer Burton • July 13, 2023
The Skills for Success are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life. Today we're continuing our look at the Skills for Success by talking about Writing . According to the Canadian government, writing is how we share information using written words, symbols, and images. For example, we use this skill to fill out forms and applications, and write emails, reports and social media posts. Learn more about writing and the other Skills for Success here , and think about the writing you do on an average day, from grocery lists to reminders to homework. If you'd like to build your reading, writing, creativity, problem solving, and other Skills for Success, Ontario's adult literacy programs offer free, individualized training that can help.
